        DDD GROUP SIGNS RESELLER AGREEMENT WITH SHARP FOR 3D NOTEBOOK PC

October 13th, 2003

DDD Group plc ("DDD"), the developer of 3D technology, today announced that it
had entered into reseller agreement with Sharp Systems of America ("Sharp") to
resell Sharp's 3D notebook computer. The Sharp Actius RD3D is the world's first
3D notebook PC based on Sharp's revolutionary new 3D "glasses-free" liquid
crystal display.

The Sharp Actius RD3D notebook is available for purchase in North America,
priced at $3,299 (approx. #2,000), and will be initially targeted at business
and scientific applications ranging from CAD and other design applications, drug
discovery, medical imaging, mapping/GIS, oil & gas, entertainment, advertising,
broadcasting, electronic books and other vertical markets.

The Actius RD3D represents a powerful next generation mobile graphics computing
platform. Using Sharp's revolutionary switchable TFT 3D LCD technology, end
users can view normal business documents including letters and spreadsheets in
2D and then simply switch on the screen's 3D viewing mode at the touch of a
button for viewing enhanced interactive computer graphics, photographs and
movies in 3D without requiring the user to wear any special glasses.

DDD's TriDefTM Movie Player, Photo Viewer and Visualizer software products are
pre-installed on the 3D notebook as part of Sharp's 3D multimedia bundle.
Customers will also be able to purchase DDD's TriDef Photo Transformer software
that converts existing 2D photographs to 3D for the creation of highly effective
3D Powerpoint(R) presentations.

A collection of nWave Pictures blockbuster 3D movie trailers are included on the
Actius RD3D, including "3D Mania Encounter in the Third Dimension", "SOS
Planet", "Alien Adventure" and "Haunted Castle". The feature length 3D versions
are available to purchase.

Using TriDef Visualizer for OpenGL, Personal CAChe for Windows, a popular
chemical molecular modeling package, was rapidly integrated with the 3D display
capabilities of the Actius RD3D without requiring the application developer,
CAChe Group, to undertake complex re-engineering of their software.

Greg Nakagawa, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sharp Systems of
America, said: "We are very excited about the partnership with DDD. They bring a
unique understanding of 3D content and applications which is essential to
developing the market for Sharp's 3D products. DDD has delivered some very
practical solutions which help us address the varied needs of our customers
while delivering very high quality 3D images."

Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD, added: "This is an important milestone in
the development of mass markets for 3D. The new Sharp Actius RD3D notebook
establishes a radical new price performance level for 3D displays by offering a
complete package which can be used seamlessly in 2D or 3D. At $3,299, we have
already received a great deal of interest in the notebook from our customers and
we are already taking orders."
